Key accomplishments include setting the necessary steps, governance and timeline for the EU's transition to a T+1 settlement cycle, the selection of consolidated tape providers to enhance market transparency and the implementation of new regulations under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. ESMA also contributed to the development of the European Single Access Point, advanced the optimisation of financial market data usage and issued new guidelines aimed at addressing and mitigating greenwashing risks.
